The Jake Tool E.P.

(1) Jake's thoughts on Trains & Candles (@Helium Comedy Club 6-11-19)

This track was recorded during Portland’s Funniest Person competition hosted at Helium Comedy Club.  Jake moved on to the second round and soon after his dreams were thoroughly crushed.  Jake talks about Pablo Picasso, Train crashes, Mushrooms & Scented Candles.

(2) Jake Doesn’t Read (@Funhouse Lounge 11-8-19)

Recorded during the weekly Midnight Mic at Funhouse Lounge.  Jake spends a few, slightly interrupted, minutes talking about his disdain for literature.  The beginning to a recurring theme.

(3) The Beard Show (@Helium Comedy Club 12-12-19)

Once upon a time, there was a group of heavily bearded men who put on a show at the illustrious Helium Comedy Club.  Jake Tooley has a beard, and thus he partook in the pageantry.  He spoke tales of his wildest dreams, his lack of knowledge, phallic unknowings, & psychedelic rendezvous.

(4) Amazon Book Burn (@Alberta Street Pub 11-17-19 & @Haymaker Bar 12-2-19)

This track is designed to give a closer look at the open mic lifestyle.  Part 1 was recorded in front of 2 audience members and the host of the mic.  Part 2 was that same joke performed in front of an audience 10 times that at one of the best open mics in Portland at Haymaker Bar.  2 vs 20 makes a huge difference.

(5) 82nd & Powell (@The Jade Lounge 11-14-19)

Diving deep into the culture of a very specific intersection of Portland, Jake talks to a crowd at the Jade Lounge open mic.  This one goes out to the locals baby!
